| Just bought a Hegel H390 Integrated I just bought a Hegel H590. I'm happily married. Hope this doesn't cause a divorce! ;) | |
| Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not The Hegel H590 is at the top of my list of amps I want to hear with my 40.2A's. There is a local dealer near me that I am planning to ask for a demo. My current amp is a LFD NCSE Mk3 and I am really happy with it, but when Mr. Shaw speaks I tend... | |
| Upgrading to a Hegel H590 Alan Shaw, owner and design guru for Harbeth Speakers, says the H590 is his amp of choice for listening to his speakers. It's because of his recommendation that I really want to hear this amp with my Harbeths. At any rate, you should look into t... | |
| Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not @pdreher Are these brand new? I ask this because you need to break them in for a good 20-30 hours before they start doing their real magic. Others have said 50+ hours but in my experience it wasn't that long. I never felt these speakers sound d... | |
| MusicDirect I make several purchase each month from Music Direct and only get charged my local tax rate. I live in Minnesota, BTW. If you do not live in the state of Illinois and are being charged their tax rate something's not right. I have no idea how to... | |
| Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not @pdreher I promise you won't regret it. I felt the same way as you do now but once I got them I realized what a big upgrade it is. Let me know your thoughts once you've spent some time with them. You should know that the first hour or so of li... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @jjss49 I've heard that about the 40's but I have never felt they have overloaded the room. I do not listen at extremely high levels but I like it moderately loud (my wife thinks it's really loud, LOL). My speakers have some shelving between the... | |
| I bought another Class D amp and didn't get what I paid for! My best friend's father had a pair of vintage Tannoy speakers that I always coveted since I was a teenager. When I met him recently at a party I asked him if he still had them. He told me he did and would I like to have them? In the end, I coul... | |

| To venture back into vinyl or not,...that is the question. I agree with uberwaltz"On a budget of $500 or less I do not think you would end up being very impressed compared to say a $500 CD player."I did not see any significant enjoyment with vinyl until I was about $3-4K into it. Turntable, cartridge and... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Day three impressions:Last night I tried something interesting. I had just received a copy of the newly issued Bob Dylan Love and Theft, MoFi 2LP 45 RPM release. I played it through on my analog system, and while I listened I contemplated the ag... | |
| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? Some component manufacturers will void your warranty if you use a non-stock fuse in their gear. I was considering a fuse upgrade for my LFD amp until I learned that they void the warranty if you do it. Not sure if it's that big of a deal but som... | |
| Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not @pdreher Yes I still have them and am completely satisfied with them. No plans to change them out anytime soon, if ever. I think you will be happy with the upgrade if you decide to go for it. The improvement over the 40.1's is not small. @mapm... | |
| Can't get digital signal from iPad? You might remember Wadia made ipod docks several years ago that did convert the digital signal into the dock, which had a DAC built in. It also worked with ipads. I had one of those so I know it's possible to do this. Might be something quirky ... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @falconquest I forgot to mention that Holo Audio has a pretty generous trade-up program for owners of the Spring DAC. Check it out on the Kitsune website. |
